Steve comments, perceptively, but rather cockily in my view 'Ha, so you couldn't think of anything to write today, then!'
Even though you say I couldn't think of anything to write, I did actually write something. Thanks to some rather fine Orange Pekoe tea and some irresistible shamanic drumming from my next door neighbour, Mrs Abercrombie, I was able to enter a trance state, where-in I could navigate a route through the terrifying landscape of now. The reason I embarked on that perilous venture was for you, Steve, so that you'd have a blog to read. Yes, you might well look at your shoes.
I agree that it had a sort of 'nothing' quality to it, but if you take it as part of the ongoing, greater blog feast, you can think of it as a palate cleanser, a sort of insubstantial sorbet, that doesn't fill you up or have any nutritional value, but tricks your mouth into thinking it's still feasting.
Lord Archer comments 'the combine harvester of creativity fails to catch the ripe stalks of inspiration', which, let's face it, is the best thing he's ever written. To be Jeffrey with you, Frank, I'd pack in the novels now, and go for an up-dated I Ching, a bit like the Wentz Evans thing, but shallower.
Sophie, quite sphinxily, (I'd like that on a triple word score, although I know there'd be arguments. Certainly Bill Gates doesn't like it), comments 'Today's validation word is …. number… how exact' Well Sophie, today's word is 'solid', and coming after 'exact' and 'number', I think we might have a sacred geometry thing going on here. I'm hoping tomorrows word could be 'pyramid' or 'stone' or some suchlike. According to my webstats, about 20% of Rory blog-watchers only log in to read the validation word. ( I can't give you an exact solid number)

Yes, you DID write something - rather like those musicians who can't think of anything to play, so opt to play jazz...
Anyway, thank you: today's blogging is back on form and the validation word is 'policy' (but I rather wish it was &
